Thanks for the comment Donna!
I am constantly challenging myself with new materials. In this case it is Reeves BFK paper that I gave a wash with a large brush, then allowed to dry. Drew the figure and used Sumi ink. I diluted it in two batches but the "delicate" transitions are due to the layering of subtle hues. The white is gouache.My old one dried up and this new type seems to be permanent, which is really nice. The old type would crack and move around if rewetted.

You can see the actual materials in the picture

Ink nice, this is a nice change, its looks nice and well worth the effort
gouache must look that up, I like the paper and was admiring that
I brought all the stuff to try and do water colours few yrs ago
as I can't draw very well thought to start with that, but I just haven't
got in my head what I want to do, and won't start till I do,
I don't want to do just drawings picture flower, house, person
I want to add some wow factor and colours to it so doing the back ground
like this in different colours may be the answer
